It rained non-stop.

Late at night, the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, Prime Minister Rongte was standing there with a wine glass and enjoying the rain scene outside the window, and the pouring rain fell on the window, forming a thick rain curtain, making the window blurry, but a few lightning bolts in the sky from time to time were clearly presented.

It hasn't rained in two months, and this heavy rain in the middle of the night may make people feel the coolness of late autumn even more appropriately.

It was here that there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Come in!" the Prime Minister Ronte replied, but did not turn back, for he knew who was coming without looking at him.

"How's things going?" After the visitor came in, Prime Minister Rong Te immediately slowly withdrew his gaze and asked with some expectation.

This morning, the secret envoy of the Principality of Heavenly Spirit had already come and brought half of the agreed amount, and this considerable amount of gold coins solved Prime Minister Rongte's shortage of funds at once, so the things he wanted to do here must be implemented as soon as possible.

"Baron Neret has already set off for the Maru Fortress in the afternoon, please rest assured, the commander of the fortress has been informed in advance, and there will be no problems!" Kefer replied immediately and respectfully.

"Very good, I don't have to worry about you doing things!" Prime Minister Rongte nodded with satisfaction, he still recognized Kefer's ability, especially in calculating and using others.

At the expense of a small Baron Nire, the return for the Prime Minister's Mansion was quite enormous.

Thirty million, a full thirty million gold coins!

You must know that this money is extremely important to their Prime Minister's Mansion now, after all, the Nicholas family, which looks like a beautiful appearance, is actually going downhill because of many things, coupled with the silver monopoly policy of Count Auno, the Prime Minister is facing a huge dilemma in terms of funds, and the influence of the royalists among the imperial nobility has been declining day by day.

Because of this, the marriage of their Nicholas family and the Silie family is imperative!

The room gradually fell silent, and the sound of rain outside the window became more and more recognizable.

After a while, the prime minister who looked out the window seemed to remember something, so he asked, "Has there been any movement from Ron's old horseman in the past two days?"

For the current situation, Prime Minister Rongte can see clearly, and I believe that Marshal Ron can also see it clearly, so Prime Minister Rongte has been deliberately telling Kaifer to pay more attention to Ron's movements in the past few days, after all, Prime Minister Rongte has already discussed with Count Ernor during the day today, and three days later, a grand engagement ceremony will be held for Hualong and Xueya, the purpose is naturally to inform the world, I believe that Marshal Ron, who has many eyes and ears, has already gotten the news at this time, coupled with the matter of Huayun's promotion to captain the day before yesterday, Prime Minister Rongte does not believe that Ron's old guy can sit still, he will definitely make a move。

"Not yet!" ...... Kefer replied cautiously, but he didn't seem to know whether to say it or not.

"But what, say whatever you want, you've been with me for so long, what can't you say!" Chancellor Ronte suddenly turned around with a little seriousness.

"Yes!" Kefer hurriedly said, "Although Marshal Ron's side has not made any moves that are clearly aimed at us and Count Onor in the past few days, my people have found that he is frequently mobilizing troops, and even his armor and sword that have been treasured have been taken out!"

"Mobilize the army? What does he want to do? Rebel?" Prime Minister Rongte's expression was suddenly solemn, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that the nearest border was unstable again, after all, he was in control of the military department, and the news of the border was originally faster than those of them who were in the court knew, but if he wanted to rebel, he would not believe it if he killed Prime Minister Rongte, not to mention whether the rebellion could succeed with the strength of the court and the army he now mastered, even if it could succeed, I am afraid that those people would not allow him to do so, otherwise the "war demon" of the year Ryatt wouldn't end up so miserable.

Therefore, after showing a slight smile of contempt, Prime Minister Rong Te continued: "Don't worry about him about the transfer of troops, just pay close attention, is there any other news?"

"And there's news from the Flame Empire!" Kefer continued, "The famous general Rufis Apache was promoted to lieutenant general a few days ago!"

Lieutenant General!?

Hearing this news, Prime Minister Rongte was slightly stunned again, if he remembered correctly, that famous general of the Fire Empire, Rufis Apache, is only nineteen years old this year, a nineteen-year-old lieutenant general? That is equivalent to the existence of their Cold Moon Empire's presidential rank, and he is one step away from becoming a general (marshal), and it has only been less than a year since his last promotion, the Fire Empire is ready to do a big job? No wonder Ron, that old horseman, is about to start dispatching troops.

"Let's talk about this Rufis Apache, the more detailed the better!" Prime Minister Ronte is becoming more and more interested in this young man, who is known as the youngest famous general on the mainland and the successor of the "War Demon".

"Yes!" Kefer replied respectfully: "According to the intelligence, Rufis Apache is a very ambitious young officer, he has implemented a series of promotion systems in the army over the years, which has achieved great repercussions, and his private cabinet is all selected from the backward nobles and commoners, and he is a young man with great means!"

In fact, there are many descriptions of Rufis Apache in the intelligence, but the Marquis of Kefer only explained it in a general way, and added a sentence before that, "It is said that Rufis Apache has a bad relationship with Prime Minister Nax, the hawk of the Fire Empire!"

"The relationship is not good?" Prime Minister Rong Te suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that the disagreement between the military and the government is the same in all countries, far more than our Cold Moon Empire!"

The Prime Minister of the Fire Empire is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Cold Moon Empire, but in the opinion of Prime Minister Rongte, I am afraid that it will be Prime Minister Nax who will win this silent war in the end, after all, more than thirty years ago, the current Imperial Marshal Ron Locke is also a young Zhuang who wants to reform, and his views are also supported by many lower-class nobles and commoners, but what about later?

Once a person gets the right, he becomes greedy, he becomes afraid, he stops, because they are afraid that the hard-won right will be lost again, and why not themselves?

So this kind of thing Prime Minister Ront is not worried at all, just tell Kefer to pay more attention, what worries him the most in front of him is the engagement ceremony between Hualong and Xueya in three days, he believes that Marshal Ron, the old horseman, will definitely not give up like this, he will definitely look for an opportunity to win over Count Auno, if it can't be done, maybe he can only sabotage the engagement ceremony, therefore, before Kefer went out, Prime Minister Rongte also repeatedly told him to pay close attention to all the movements of Marshal Ron, and at the same time send a strong man to monitor the movements of the Imperial Women's Academy and Xueya for twelve hours around the clock, and report it immediately if there is anything abnormal！
